Horses Adopted 2006:
	Athena "Attie" 4 Years Old 16.3 Hands Belgian Mare Athena came to us this winter as a potential program horse. With her wonderful temperament and extreme promise under saddle she was proving to be a pro. She was even a star during pony rides at our Open House. Unfortunately she starting coming up lame at the trot and in circles. Upon evaluation from our vet and x-rays it was confirmed she has a sidebone. This condition can be common in drafts and over time as the bone calcifies Athena may be sound again. This may be several years.
